Explains how initial design proposals are generated, developed, modeled, and communicated using ICT (information and communication technology) and CAD (computer aided design); how Photoshop is used to create and manipulate fabric designs; how CAD is used to design, grade, and cost garments for manufacture and produce spec sheets and layout plans; and how CAD is used to produce final garment samples.
